The mainland appears one continued smooth ridge of snow, only here and there the Wadi neat: of a monntain antic:trim: ; some large islands on the cutest less covered with snow ; the land ice extends three or four leagues off, so there is no pros pect of approaching the coast hereabouts —We sound oc casionally in from 200 to 400 fatlioms soft mmt and small stones.

We must now be crossing the Magnetic Pole fast, as the variation increases so much. It is puzzling to find out exactly how the ship is steering by the compass; what with the g; eat variation and error. arising from the ship's attraction and the slug-gish traversing of the compasses, we must consider some time before a course or wind can he properly named. We are now the ❑orthernmost ship, and have made fast to the ice, on purpose to send away a few letters. The fish are turning so very plenty, that all the chips are employed, and will probably proceed no further north this season. This afternoon we got jammed between two flaws, and seeing a ship taking fish a short distance from us, Captain Itoss sends all his dispatches with her, in case of not falling t!► with another, or ice opening and separating us.— You will hear from me by every opportunity. I am, &c. J. R. P. S. While writing these last lines, the ice has closed ail round us, and fast to the northward.' You may press how fickle it is. We are now about three miles off a small rocky island, in 470 fathoms mud, the island four or five leagues from the main land, and ice connecting it. The temperature of the water to•day is :s6 deg. higher than it has been for some weeks. We see land bearing N.

WORCESTER, OCT. 14.—1 n our market, on Saturday, 745 new Pockets were weighed, which were sold at a trifling advance, the average being 81. to 91. STOURPORT, OCT. 7.—At our market this day, 312 Pockets of (lops were weighed ; Prices 81. to 91. per cwt.; very few samples fetched the latter price. CHESTER FAIR.—At this fair, which commenced on Saturday, the supply of hops was large, reach ing• probably 1500 pockets, chiefly Worcester; on the first day, about one-third were sold, Worces ters averaging Si. 103. to 101. and Kent and Sus sex St. to 81. 15s. WEYHILL FAIR (SATURDAY.)—The quantity of Hops already grounded affords a conclusive proof of the abundance of the crop ; at two o'clock this day upwards of 3000 pockets were grounded in the country rows, and more than '2500 in the Farnham row ; and immense quantities are con-, tinnally arriving. Cranbrook lair on Tuesday sennight was well attended, and a great many samples of Hops prn duced ; but there was but little business dune, on account of the heaviness of the Hop-market. PAISLEY.--Goods are now making in this town and neighbourhood for every quarter of the gl►►be. Their elegance and cheapness are gaining them admi►tance into countries where European manufactures of the same descriptions never be tore penetrated. Yesterday James Thomas, a notorious thief,was charged at Marlborough-street Office, by Lieu tvltant-General Caosate, with robbing him of his pocket-book, containing notes to some amount, and also a card case, while walking in Bomi street. It appeared that the General bad just re turned tram France, having repaired to the Cla rendon Hotel, and was taking a morning walk. when he was accmted by a Mr. Ware, who had taken the thief, and who inquired if the General had lost any thing ? hisonet's band was seen in the General's pocket by Mr. Ware, when the former found he bad lost his pocket-book and card case ; and the prisoner was committed for trial. Yesterday morning, about nine o'clock, a that► who was employed to debit) son►e windows at 1100se in Craven -street, Strand, in consequence of having nothing but a slight band-rail to lay hold „f , it g a ve way, and he was precipitated to the paven►ent.

In Spring, like thee, the buds of life expaud, Warm'd into action by the Summer's ray; Till golden Autumn, with em browning baud, Appears to whisper, thou must fade away.

THE DaortY-LANE.—The pathetic powers which Mrs. WEST has displayed its her previous efforts; have otiviously made a strong impression on the and naturally drew a numerous audience to witness her performance last night, of Lady Macbeth, at this Theatre. Mrs. %VEST in face, person, voice, and general talents, was formed for the pathetic, and is not qualified to he equally successful in displaying the " terrible graces." It was evident, however, from the whole of her performance, that " The lines though touch'd but faintly were drawn right," and fully manifested her good sense, and at times her critical acumen.—lint the recollection of Mrs. SinnoNs is too strong on the public mind, for any of her successors to efface the remem brance in any of her characters. Mrs. WFsr, in real pathos, is now certainly the best of her suc cessors in parts to which her powers are adapted, and we advise her, therefore, to adhere tit the obvious intentions of Nature in her possession of so interesting a combination of powers, as will always enahle•her to reach the heart in her proper province.'—lt is somewhat curious, as we have had Oceasion to observe be fore, that the admirers of Mr. KEAN seem to be wholly ignorant of his merit in those passages where his powers afford due energy and expres sioN, and applaud him with enthusiasm when he taps his forehead with his hand, strikes his breast with his truncheon, or, after a solemn pause, breaks into as familiar an utterance as if he were asking for a pinch of snuff, or inquiring the time of the day. It is impossible that he can be pleased with such silly idolatry.—Mr. H. KEW. BEE'S Macduff was highly creditable to his talents. The fighting scene between hint and Mr. KEAN was admirably conducted on both sides, and Macbeth's death was well managed by the latter. BENGouon's Banquo was a very judicious perfor mance, and his dumb-spew in the banquet scene was very impressive. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING, ISIB. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15.

LONGP.YITY.—Mary %Vest, a poor woman, in her 106th year, many yea's resident in tie parish of Northfleet, Kent, and a native of the neigh bouring parish of Ash, is an object of very interesting attention. tier understanding is clear and strong, her memory ready, her voice even sweet, and her personal strength fully sufficient for all the common purpo‘es of life. She rises and sits with ease,dresses and undresses herself, makes her own bed, and walks in fine weather n mile or two from her cottage. Nor can she be considered as entirely past labour, hav ing joined the gleaners with great cheerfulness anti assiduity iii the late harvest. In the course of the summer she walkud one afternoon to Graves end, a distance of at least four miles, and returned home the next morning. lint the greatest beauty in this picture is implied by Religion.

ES. NOVA SCOT IA. The SUBSTANCE of a JUDGMENT delivered in the COT7RT of VICE-ADMIRALTY at HALIFAX, in Nova Scotia on the 24th day of August, 1818, in the CASE of the Schooner NABBY, THOMAS STANDLEY, Master, by CROFTON UNIACKE, Esq. Judge of that Court. [Concluded from Yesterday's Sun.) It is admitted by the claimant that this vessel entered Pope's Hal bout, in the Province of Nova- Scotia, and it will be necessary to consider the facts of the case tinder two heads ; first, as to the cause of her entering that port ; and secondly, whether any thing was landed or taken on board %%bile she remained there. The. -master of this vessel has given his testi moil to both points; to the first he says, They went into Pope's Harbour, the weather was thick. and when they made the land they town, them selves neater than they expected ; and being scant of water, they went into that port for the purpose of getting some, and with no other inten tion whatever," and yet to the very neat question almost ire answers ; " They had abundance of provisions, stores, bait, wood, and water for the voyage, at the time they left their own port, anti were not apprehensive of any deficiency whatever of any of those articles." This account, as re spects the cause of her entering the harbour, is confirmed by another witness, with the addition that there was a deficiency of wood. To the next point, as to what was landed or taken on board, the Master declares—" They did not land or put on shore a single article of any kind except the seater casks, which they tilled. They did trot receive on board any articles what ever except two dollars' worth of bread, which he bought of one of the inhabitants of Pope's Harbour." Again, " neither himself,or any person on board, either bought or sold, bartered or ex changed, any article or articles of any kind or de scription whatever, except the two dollars' worth of bread be has already spoken of." Another person belonging to the vessel says to this point, That a quanti y of wood was taken on board in their own boat." James Midden, a midshipman of his Majesty's ship Saracen, who has released ail his interest in the event of this cause, and comes before the Court both as a competent witness, and as one to whom the highest credit is due, has given his testimony in these words, " That he understood from the crew that they had procured some wood, and that if they should stand in need of it they expected to supply themselves with wood and water from this coast." " They informed him they had been in at Pope's Harbour, and sold sotne boots, for which they had not got payment." Flow such contradictions are to be reconciled I shall not stop to inquire ; sufficient appears to the Court to shew, that this vessel entered a harbour of this Province, and took certain articles on board, and that if it were essential to the prose cution in this cause, a traffic, to a certain degree, was actually carried on. it remains to consider the defence which the claimant has thought pro. per to set up to justify such proceedings. A claim has been filed, to which is annexed an answer to the allegation under the oath of the master. In this answer two grounds of defence are taken quite inconsisteut with each other,— In the first place it is said, that actual distress. arising front the want of water, obliged them to enter the harbour ; and that they did not claim a right to approach the coast, or to enter the harbours, bays, rivers, or creeks of this Province, under pretence of fishing, or for any purpose con nected with the fishery. in the second place, it is boldly asserted, that, as citizens of the United States, they have a right to engage in the fisheries on the coasts and in the harbours of this 3 P!.ovince. Tire liberartv which was always extended, by the eminent Judge who so long presided in this Court, to parties whose interests were committed to its care ; and the iodulgeocies whi,Alre grant ed to practitioners as to the forms of legal pro ceeding, will not allow me on this occasion to restrict the claimant in making his defence as he may be advised. But I wish it to be understood, that the proceedings must nut assume a character which can only tend to perplex the Court, and to prevent the only object wnich parties can be per mitred to seek in Courts of Law, the administra tion of justice through the medium of noperverted truth. And I twist confess that this defence pre sents to the Court a contused picture, in which the interestiog colours of distress are awkwardly thrown over the obscure and almost tailed outline of rights, once clear and acknowledged. Such as it is, however, 1 .hall consider it, and this fo reigner shall not be permitted to say that be was refused to be heard by a British Court Oil every point he pleased to assume, and in every way in which he thought justice might be attained. The first ground then is, that this vessel came into a harbour of this Prokince in distress, and, without any pretence of right, sought that relief from the inhabitants of this Province, which the people of the United States, in a recent instance, had most generously and nobly extended to the inhabitants of a British Colony. And most as suredly if a case of real distress is made out, there is an cud for ever of this question. It mii,t be buried in those feelings which, .1 trust, will ever be dear to this Court, and in the exercise of which it would hope to derive more satisfaction, than can ever arise from the rigid execution of the laws. Real distress is a passport even through the savage land; it appeals ar once to sentiments universally felt ; at its approach the rigour of law is softened, and the violeoce of war becomes composed by the sacred influence of humanity.— And where can unaffected calamity seek a refuge if it is denied it on a British shore ? lotrepid its the defence of its tights, stud lenient it. the exer cise of them, Great Britain requires nor its (tar hours to be closed against the stranger, who seehs a shelter from the tempest, o r who asks tlie sup ply of those deficiencies which unAvoida'rle necessity may have created. Tire private Lon tributions of that country have cheered the hearts of the afflicted in almost every land, and its public treasuries have been exhausted in yi4ling protection to every nation, whose people songht an asylum either in its bravery or its rmuri;rs. c;f , . t l° ‘ ler ill4 nt AS' .
